How human composting works in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville has always had a close relationship with the St. Johns River and the marshes and barrier islands of Northeast Florida. Whether you've followed the St. Johns, one of the few rivers in the country that flows north, explored the salt marshes of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, or walked among the weathered trees of Boneyard Beach on Big Talbot Island, there's a sense here that the natural world deserves care. Human composting reflects that same instinct.
Human composting is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cremation or traditional burial. Over a 30–45 day process, the body is gently transformed into nutrient-rich soil. It is sometimes referred to as soil transformation, body composting, natural organic reduction or terramation.
Jacksonville families can choose how much soil they'd like returned, to plant, spread, or share, and the remainder is donated to conservation projects for growing trees, restoring habitats, and nurturing native plants. The process returns the nutrients in our bodies to the natural world, and helps protect the planet for future generations. Whether you need our human composting services now, or you're planning for the future, Earth Funeral is here to help Jacksonville residents.
